R I know a guy that claimed to and when I brought in the next day the NYT's book that was a collection of obituaries he couldn't come up with a name. I didn't even know anyone that knew anyone. |

Fred Right, said Fred (or Scott). We're all God's children, and I gather Osama had an especially close relationship to at least one God. Joking about the death of a human being isn't funny. On the other hand, terrorism, now that's funny. Here's a Chinese joke about it, from http://www.newyorker.com/online/blog...-america..html Al Qaeda once sent five terrorists to China: One was sent to blow up a bus, but he wasn’t able to squeeze onto it; one was sent to blow up a supermarket, but the bomb was stolen from his basket; one was sent to blow up a train, but tickets were sold-out; finally, one succeeded in bombing a coal mine, and hundreds of workers died. He returned to Al Qaeda’s headquarters to await the headlines about his success, but it was never reported by the Chinese press. Al Qaeda executed him for lying. I have an small book of political jokes like this collected in the Soviet Union and printed in the West. They're ****ing hilarious (if you remember the USSR), even or especially to a bleeding heart liberal Commie like myself. Black humor is a time-honored way of dealing with intolerable situations. Fredcomrade Ben p.s. The joke about the Chinese joke is that one of the five terrorists is unaccounted for. He's probably a sleeper agent waiting to run for President. |

Not important. Hmm...you get to decide what is and what is not relevant - without consideration for my views on the matter. I'm not sure I agree with that. Let me check...nope, I sure don't. Sorry. Your sensibilities regarding the offing of a person who assaulted you in a tangential, theoretical way shows that you are a caring guy - in a tangential, theoretical way. It's not quite so simple for me. I knew six people that died in the WTC on 9/11. Captain of my HS lacrosse team, kid I used to play ping pong with at the pool, people I'd run into in town (I live one town over from where I grew up - it's a nice area), that sort of thing. Something like 40 people in all from my home town. So you might well imagine that that ****'s still alive for me. Which makes people's remorse...regret...what is it exactly that you are feeling that makes you qualified to tell me how things are supposed to work? I'm no more offended by this thread than any of a number of things that passes for normal on RBR. I'm not sorry OBL got whacked any more than I'm sorry when a gangster gets whacked. They were begging for it, and as the saying goes in Texas, they needed killing. I'm not reveling in him getting whacked, just feel it's time to turn the page. The thing I most object to in this thread is that Substance Abuse has a lame sense of humor and he's simply trolling. I'd apologize for my stupid and/or naive thoughts on the matter, but I'm not sure that would be relevant. ~ R |
